We live in very exciting times 😃! BLDC motors are entering the hobby community more and more and many great projects have already emerged leveraging their far superior dynamics and power capabilities. BLDC motors have numerous advantages over regular DC motors but they have one big disadvantage, the complexity of control. Even though it has become relatively easy to design and manufacture PCBs and create our own hardware solutions for driving BLDC motors the proper low-cost solutions are yet to come. ...

SmartKnob is an open‑source hardware/software hybrid rotary input device featuring software-configurable end-stops and virtual detents, facilitated by a brushless gimbal motor and magnetic encoder—offering programmable haptic feedback and a novel, tactile user interface. 240x240 round LCD ("GC9A01"), protected by 39.5mm watch glass on rotor. BLDC gimbal motor, with a hollow shaft for mechanically & electrically connecting the LCD. PCB flexure and SMD resistors used as strain gauges for press detection (haptic feedback provided via the motor). USB-C (2.0) connector for 5V power and serial data/programming (CH340). Versatile back plate for mounting - use either 4x screws, or 2x 3M medium Command strips (with cutouts for accessing removal tabs after installation).
